“The Politics of Conversation: Denis Diderot, Elio Vittorini, Manuel Puig, Masaki Kobayashi, Vasily Grossman,” in Sheherzade’s Children: Global Encounters with the Arabian Nights, eds. Philip F. Kennedy and Marina Warner (2013)
Scheherazade’s Children gathers together leading scholars to explore the reverberations of the tales of the Arabian Nightsacross a startlingly wide and transnational range of cultural endeavors. The contributors, drawn from a wide array of disciplines, extend their inquiries into the book’s metamorphoses on stage and screen as well as in literature—from India to Japan, from Sanskrit mythology to British pantomime, from Baroque opera to puppet shows.
